Its up, who normally creates the league? I want in!

Bayrider did the main league last year. I set up the secondary league.

We did talk about making a keeper league that would allow us to draft some of the younger kids and keep them from season to season.

Link to more info on this keeper league? I am up for anything.

Apparently it is new to Yahoo this year:

Eh... Not sure if I like that you keep players between seasons. I like the idea of having to re-draft each season so that everybody starts off with a clean slate.

Either way though, I'm in

We had two leagues last year. I suggest one of each. If there is room, I'll probably play both.

Works for me. I'll go with the non-keeper league

Lets get it going. Sign me up for both if there is room.

I can renew last year's league as it is a new option now. Let's get a few more people in here that are interested in maintaing a team throughout the entire season and I'll fire her back up.

Send me a message when the fantasy league starts up again! I'm looking to be the first two-time winner!

(Yes, I am still trying to relive my only successful season by bragging about it. But it's trash talk, even if I'm poor at it!)

i am down 100 percent...

I'll set it up sometime tomorrow!

Okay, it's up and running guys!

**Please only register if you are going to commit to your team from beginning to end. No slackers please!!**

If a Mod can sticky this and rename it to Neowin.net Fantasy Hockey League 2008-09 I'd appreciate it!

Alright, I'm in!

Prepare to lose to the Rhymenocerous!

All signed up. Lets get it on!

There are still 8 spots!

Can a Mod can rename to title to "Neowin Fantasy Hockey Season 2008-09" and sticky this to the top so we can get some more exposure and fill up the league

thanks

Done. Did you set this up as a keeper league?

It's fine if you didn't as we may need to create a second league anyway.

Puck Power!

Okay, I'm not feeling very creative, but I just went with a name, and who knows?

i'm in too

Nope, not a keeper league. I didn't think we had enough interest.

awesome, time to defend my title!

I've joined... This'll be my first time doing a fantasy league, so I don't expect to be that great. I've always wanted to do on for like the past 10 years, lol.

I'm in! Hopefully i can do a bit better than last year. Can someone post the league ID# and pword please.

Cheers bayrider. I've signed up, your all in trouble now!

i am in... team name is habitants

I'm in.

1 spot remaining!!

Any way we can push the draft time back like 2 hours? That's really early for me

There isn't one Toronto Maple Leaf player in Yahoo's Top 100.

Not that this should be that surprising but I felt it should be noticed.

It will be easier than usual to not be a homer.

I know, but we have to consider our friends on the east coast who have a good chance of not being home later in the afternoon. I don't want to get up at 8:30 but it's not a far cry from the usual 9am wakeup for me.

C'mon guys, we need 1 more!

Tell your friends! Get them to sign up!

If you know anyone that's not signed up, PM them and ask them if they want to play.

It's going to suck having a bye for a team each week

don't worry... I got you guys... #14 here and ready to party!.... lets get this ish started!.... lol.

You're freezer burn? Wow, strange. I used that nickname for one of my teams last year.

Don't forget guys, we're drafting this weekend on Sunday 8:30am PT/11:30am ET

Tomorrow morning is the draft! Be there!!

Hmmm, it seems we can't do the live draft with an odd number of teams according to yahoo....

**** i thought we had enough!

Me too , we have about 3 mins before the draft starts...

who the hell dropped out the last minute!?

my team just disappeared?

this is bull****

I had to delete the league otherwise Yahoo was going to autopick for us because some idiot dropped out and left an uneven number of teams

I wondered what happened. One minute i was on the league page, the next i couldn't get in. So are you going to set up another league Bayrider?

Yeah, I was just about to enter the draft, then I couldn't get in...

I have no choice but to start a 2nd league. And whoever it was that dropped out, I hope they don't join the 2nd league.

Sorry about that. But I had 2mins left and I had to make a decision right away otherwise we'd be stuck with the league and there isn't anything I could have done.

Oh ****, well that was close. So whats the plan now?

Calm down bayrider, not the end of the world now is it?? Hopefully the 2nd league goes a little smoother.

I'm going to start another league. I'll have the info up shortly.

Is Wednesday night/evening good for everyone? Only 3 days from now.

Depends on what time wednesday night. Dont think I can make anything before 6 pm EST
